I love to browse through used book stores, but sometimes there are so
many books, and boxes and boxes of old magazines, that I feel overwhelmed.
If I only knew specifically which issue of a particular magazine had an
article about Basil Rathbone, I could ask the clerk to get that box down from the
top shelf. So, in an attempt to solve my own problems, I began to organize a
list of all the books and all the magazine articles that are about Rathbone. This is a "work in progress" as I continue to discover
more sources of information and add them to the list. I welcome your
suggestions of sources to be added, and your corrections, too. E-mail:

The Rathbone
Register has a nice biography of Basil Rathbone, information on family, dates of marriages, births,
and deaths. It is an archive of information on the Rathbone family,
would especially be interesting to genealogists, and those of you who are
related to Basil Rathbone.

Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson is a
tribute to their portrayals as the great detective and his biographer. This
website has 54 of the Rathbone/Bruce radio episodes available for download
(free) and to buy on CD. The site also has a synopsis of all 14 of the Sherlock Holmes films starring Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce,
together with pictures and information about each film.

"Rathbone's Finest Hour" -- an article written by Pat Ward,
which appears on www.sherlock-holmes.com/featur4.htm
. The article concerns the 1939 film "The Hound of the Baskervilles."

on Screen" is an essay by Damian Magee that examines the popular Rathbone/Bruce series of Holmes movies.
